So there is this think on the back of my left leg that has bothered me for a week. My achillies tendon just started hurting. Thursday it was fine, next day: pain. Ok, not good. I shortened my run. Next day still hurting, i started ice and advil. Had a race the next day and ran it doped up on advil - no pain! but i knew i was tearing it up.

So this week i jogged less than a mile on Monday, took off on Tuesday, 1.5 miles on Wednesday, took off Thursday, 2 miles on Friday, taking off today. I will probably ski a few runs at Belleayre tomorrow. I have continued with ice at least 3X per day. It has gotten progressively better. But I have had to bag two races I wanted to do to complete my Grand Prix, Ashenfelter on Thanksgiving and Westfield (today). I am hoping I can be near 100% for Run Goose Run on December 6th and for the USATF-NJ 10 Miler on the following weekend. I still need a 500 point 5K, and it looks like it is gonna be the Morris Mauler.
